Im new at the game, been raiding like crazy to get ahead, and to keep going as being just a miner, specially when starting out takes forever! These banned players, if they did something wrong to get the banned status, why are they able to go into Vacation mode? Ive been raiding a couple of banned players, and well, Im just a scavenger for the most part to keep techs and buildings going untill my mining fields in all planets can help sustain me better with less raiding! Does the banned players status eventually go away? Then they could retaliate at me? Which I dont care if they can cuz I got mine to get techs up, then I would just have to ride it out right? Or hope for forgivness, as these banned players Ive been raiding are way bigger than I am, but I guess thats what they get

Also Id like to thank Witchywoman for your nice posts, they have been very helpful. In game name is Ree2 as well, I'm very active player looking for a helpful alliance to learn more, I think Im catching on pretty fast, figured out all the fleet saving etc stuff, and building fast figuring things out on my own

Usually banned people dont come back. And no, they cant retaliate.

Side note: Witchy's been gone since the beginning of December. Oh and next time, could you please click edit instead of double posting? Makes the forums look nicer.

Most banned people, like bob said, will not come back as they are banned for a year. Once banned, some are put into v-mode it seems, and some aren't. I'm not exactly sure how that works.

PS-Welcome to Zorg!
